Sony Tablet S is it going to get Jelly Bean?

[mallyowner]

I have the original Sony Tablet S, I couldn't find on the web whether it is going to get the Jelly Bean update, so I thought I would ask on here.

It would be upsetting to find out it's not getting the update, as I can only assume that you won't be able to download apps etc that have only been made to work on Jellybean

Hi Mallyowner,

welcome to the Sony User Comunity Forum..:smileyhappy:

Unfortunately anubis619 is correct Sony have no plans to release the Jelly Bean update for the Sony Tablet S apparently because of hardware issues..:smileysad:

That is not good news, I'm so annoyed as they weren't a cheap tablet to buy. If you could let me have an email add I would appreciate it, and let me know how you get on.

I can't even put into words how angry I am about this situation with Sony.

I'm extremly disappointed on Sony. After just 1,5 years they stopped to support this tablet. It wasn't a cheap tablet and at least I always had problems with this regarding to Wifi dropping all the time. Honestly, I can't even use Music unlimited because a few minutes after the screen go blank it can't connect to Wifi. So expensive tablet and so useless.

No more money to Sony hardware for a long time now.

I meen, why spend big money on products that they so quickly stop to support?

I have also been a buyer for the mobile phones, but exactly the same thin. 18 months after releasing the products and then no more support.

From now on propably Samsung or Nexus when it comes to Android.

I stumbled upon a way to get JB 4.1.2 on our Tablet S-es: apparently, over at XDA, a [link removed by moderator due to handset warranty concerns] has been developed.

I haven't yet tried it myself as I'm a bit hesitant about having to root the device. I'll have to read up on the (potential) effects in the security field first but perhaps someone else here might just go and check it out?
